NORRIS, FRANK. A leaf from the original autograph manuscript of Norris's landmark naturalistic novel McTeague: a Story of San Francisco (New York: Doubleday & McClure, 1899). 1 page, folio, approximate 275 words written in ink with several revisions (including two marginal insertions) on lined paper with large ruled margin at left, paginated "185" in red ink at top, a few tiny pin holes at head, left margin a little soiled, folded twice.
